+.SH NAME

+.SH SYNOPSIS

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.BR sctp_recvmsg
+is a wrapper library function that can be used to receive a message from
+a socket while using the advanced features of SCTP. 
+.I sd
+is the socket descriptor on which the message pointed to by
+.I msg
+of length
+.I len
+is received.
+.PP
+If
+.I from
+is not NULL, the source address of the message is filled in. The argument
+.I fromlen
+is a value-result parameter. initialized to the size of the buffer associated
+with 
+.I from ,
+and modified on return to indicate the actual size of the address stored.
+.PP
+.I sinfo
+is a pointer to a sctp_sndrcvinfo structure to be filled upon receipt of the
+message.
+.I msg_flags
+is a pointer to a integer that is filled with any message flags like
+.B MSG_NOTIFICATION or
+.B MSG_EOR. 
+The value of 
+.I msg_flags 
+pointer should be initialized to 0 to avoid unexpected behavior;
+.I msg_flags
+is also used as an input 
+.I flags 
+argument to 
+.I recvmsg
+function.
+.SH "RETURN VALUE"
+On success,
+.BR sctp_recvmsg
+returns the number of bytes received or -1 if an error occurred.
